Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter by Mario Vargas Llosa
A comic novel on the grand scale written with tremendous confidence and verve. Mario, 18-year-old law student and radio news editor, falls scandalously for his Aunt Julia, the 32-year-old divorced wife of a cousin, and the progressively lunatic story of this affair is interwoven with episodes from a series of radio soap-operas written by his friend Pedro Comacho. Vargas Llosa's huge energy and inventiveness is extravagant and fabulously funny.' New Statesman
"'Without doubt a magnificent novel - comic, imaginative.. written with a feeling for the language that is quite remarkable.' Daily Telegraph 'This novel is as full of fizz as a giant sherbet, witty, wise and wonderful in equal proportions.' Sunday Times"
With novels including The War of the End of the World, Aunt Julia and the Scriptwriter, The Notebooks of Don Rigoberto and The Feast of the Goat, Mario Vargas Llosa has established an international reputation as one of the Latin America's most important authors.
